Chapter 4: The Imminent Family Crisis

Wang Hu is tall and robust, a man in his seventies, sitting there with his back straight and his voice loud, still embodying the demeanor of a standard soldier. The old gentleman has spent his entire life in the "disciplinary forces," and these traits have long been ingrained in his very bones

This is not a trivial matter; that is my aunt. If she marries the wrong person, I certainly have to express my opinion

There is nothing else; it is solely reliant on this fierce determination

Among the four siblings, Wang Li has the softest heart and the gentlest personality. She can only assist her second brother and sister-in-law in this manner, but she does not dare to mediate between the old man and her second brother to help them "reconcile".

After all, the old gentleman is no longer in power, and the executive deputy of the provincial department can definitely be considered a leader with real authority. Their work is very busy, and time is also very precious

"Old Wang's family? It's simply a joke. On what basis do you think you can represent Old Wang's family?"

Wang Li shook her head repeatedly, seemingly a bit angry as well

This is a signal

Such a prominent figure, Wang, being of such a minor status, naturally has no qualification to approach closely, and can only stand at a distance, wearing a smile on his face, hoping that Director Zeng will remember his face. Perhaps, at the right moment, it could prove to be of great significance

What kind of person is Yang Yun

Wang Wei can only say this

As soon as he entered, his aunt Wang Li called out to him, signaling him with her eyes, and the two of them, aunt and nephew, walked to one side

Seeing Yang Yun standing there, spouting words with great fervor and delivering a lengthy discourse, Wang Wei simply chose not to approach. He crossed his arms, stood at a distance, squinted slightly, and his gaze was cold.

In Wang Wei's memory, this was also the last grand birthday celebration where the old man made a significant effort. Shortly thereafter, Yang Yun encountered an incident, and Wang Jun was deeply involved. In order to pull her out of the turmoil, the old man and the entire Wang family exerted their utmost effort.

Wang Li lowered her voice and asked, her face filled with anxiety

She is aware that the situation of her second brother and sister-in-law is not very good, as they are supporting their child’s education and relying on their meager wages from the collective factory. Although Wang Wei is at the police academy where the state provides food and accommodation, it does not cover pocket money, so Wang Li occasionally helps her nephew a little.

Wang Cheng had long warned him about the matter of both husband and wife being laid off, insisting that he should never tell his family, no matter what.

However, this time, it is Yang Yun who takes center stage

Perhaps Director Zeng has come specifically for Yang Yun today

People are always so realistic

Indeed, Wang Wei no longer shouted recklessly, but instead stared at Yang Yun with great interest.

Wang Gang truly lives up to his role as a leader; his ability to handle troublesome situations far surpasses that of Wang Jun. He does not engage in entanglements with Wang at all, effortlessly dismissing him with just a few words, and directly addressing Yang Yun.

Undoubtedly, he also believed that this nephew was causing trouble for no reason

Undoubtedly, this matter has already stirred Officer Wang's fighting spirit

It seems that this fellow will not dare to cause any more trouble

Wang Jun was momentarily at a loss for words

The benefits that Director Zeng obtained are evident.

Next, there will naturally be a round of polite exchanges.

However, Wang noticed a detail—Director Zeng did not shake hands with Yang Yun

Perhaps there is still a chance to avert a major misfortune for the family

Of course, Director Zeng must come to celebrate the birthday, and no one would say that he is being overly courteous

Individuals of his minor status hold no real voice in the Wang family; even his father, Wang Cheng, possesses little presence within this household. In comparison, his own presence is somewhat stronger.

A veteran police officer of twenty years, rolling in the grassroots day and night, has been exposed to the darkest side of society, and shyness has long been estranged from him

Officer Wang has always had a thick skin

On this point, Wang Gang is still very confident

Yang Yun's performance did not come to a close until Director Zeng entered the room

Wang's abnormal performance today must be explained in some way

Wang Li felt somewhat frustrated and retorted, "Why are you, a child, meddling in so many trivial matters?"

As the saying goes, "A new emperor brings new ministers," no one is pleased to have a "retired emperor" sitting above them

Relatively speaking, Aunt Wang Li is more concerned about Wang Wei, and the relationship between aunt and nephew is also closer

Now, this great troublemaker Yang Yun has openly come to his home. If we do not confront this clearly, then is he still Wang Erlengzi

Setting aside Yang Yunyi's billion-dollar fortune, the attitude of treating guests in this manner is also unacceptable

Wang shrugged his shoulders and said, "I am the legitimate grandson of the Wang family, so how can I not represent the Wang family?"

Throughout the entire Tian Nan Province, there are numerous prominent figures. Today, one of them personally graced Villa No. 7 with their presence. It is not merely that the Wang family has been honored; at the very least, it is not considered an overreach. How could a mere young and frivolous member of the Wang family dare to be so disrespectful?

Upon this thought, Wang Wei's heart suddenly contracted.

Many major cases and unsolved mysteries appear exceedingly complex, instilling fear in everyone; however, Wang Wei dares to take them on

This person is a natural orator, able to boast impressively whenever an opportunity arises, even leaving a large group of leaders in a state of bewilderment.

Wang Jun was almost fainting from anger, gritting his teeth as he asked.

Wang Wei chuckled: "Aunt, I am not angry with him; I just find him unpleasant... Oh, Aunt, I heard that this guy is going to marry my younger aunt. Is that true? Then I will have to call him uncle-in-law?"

Wang Gang fixed a stern gaze on Wang Wei and inquired sharply

Since Wang Wei has returned, we must certainly prevent such a "tragedy" from occurring

The twists and turns in between are not complicated; anyone with a basic understanding of power dynamics can see it clearly

Wang Gang shot him a fierce glare, then turned to Yang Yun, replacing his expression with a broad smile, and politely said: "General Manager Yang, the child is ignorant and speaks nonsense, please do not take it to heart... General Manager Yang, please come inside!"

Wang Wei believes that the former director's refusal to shake hands with Yang Yun and Wang Jun was certainly not a mere oversight

You ... ...

Erzi, what is the matter with you? Why are you at odds with General Yang?

Wang Jun has experienced a failed marriage and divorced a few years ago

Wang Wei, who had been closely watching every move of Yang Yun, could not help but narrow his eyes sharply

Two sons

The venue was crowded, and everyone's attention was focused on the old gentleman and Director Zeng, leaving no one to pay attention to such minor details

Saying this, Wang Li secretly took out two hundred yuan from her pocket and stuffed it into Wang Wei's hand

Yang Yun's gaze swept over, seemingly intentional yet also indifferent, as cold and sharp as a blade

A group of guests is seated in a circle, all of whom are leaders of certain status and standing, most of whom are key figures promoted by the old master during his tenure. Even after so many years since the old master stepped down, they still come to Villa No. 7 to make an appearance on his birthday, which can be considered a true bond.

Wang chuckled and said, "Uncle, I haven't been drinking. I just want everyone to know that in our Wang family, there are still those who do not welcome this Boss Yang."

You...

To prevent Yang Yundeng from entering the Wang family's home in such a brazen manner, it is essential to at least stop Wang Jun from publicly announcing her close relationship with Yang Yun.

In a person's lifetime, true luck comes only a few times; when good fortune will descend from the heavens, who can say for certain

Wang Jun is indeed the daughter of the old master, but she is also the grandson of the old master. Why should all of the old master's energy be completely expended on Wang Jun?

In summary, I must tell you that the old gentleman has not been in a good mood these past few days, so you need to be cautious and avoid provoking him... Also, is it true that your father and mother’s factory is experiencing poor performance again?

Wang Wei originally intended to go over and wish the old gentleman a happy birthday. Although Wang Hu and Wang Cheng, the father and son, did not get along, the old gentleman did not treat this grandson differently. After all, Wang Wei is also a member of the Wang family, being the direct grandson of Wang Laohu.

Former Director Zeng's sudden visit was clearly unexpected for everyone

In fact, the house is only this big, and there have long been people paying attention to them; it is just that everyone is quite tactful and has not come over to disturb them

Since then, on subsequent birthdays, these high-ranking former subordinates have never been seen again

Wang still wore that nonchalant smile on his face, as if nothing were the matter, and walked in behind.

Of course, this is also a skill

Those who are familiar with Wang Wei know that, despite his usual lazy and indifferent demeanor, appearing nonchalant about everything he does, once something ignites his fighting spirit, he transforms as if he has become a different person. No matter how many difficulties and dangers he faces, he will certainly strive to achieve clarity in the matter.

As the birthday celebrant, the elder was surrounded by everyone on the central sofa

Wang Wei, enough!

Thank you, aunt. Both my dad and mom are doing quite well

In front of so many people, solidifying the close relationship between Yang Yun and the Wang family may very well be the true purpose of the sudden visit by the former director.

It is truly difficult for an average person to deceive such a large sum of money

However, it seems that the difficulty is not small either

Wang said in a serious manner

Wang Wei did not cause any more trouble, and it seemed that everyone had forgotten the scene that had just occurred, with no one bringing it up again. It was just that the occasional glances from Wang Gang and Wang Jun were somewhat somber.

Yang Yun no longer paid any attention to Wang Wei, and after exchanging a few polite words with Wang Gang, he walked proudly through the villa's entrance, surrounded by the crowd.

Wang Gang spoke in a low voice, his expression extremely serious

Have you been drinking alcohol

Those who are able to rise to such high positions as the Executive Deputy Director of the Provincial Department, which is at the level of a full director, are all adept at navigating various social situations and are generally meticulous in their dealings with others. Unless there are exceptional reasons, how could it be possible for only Yang Yun and Wang Jun to be overlooked?

This is Wang Wei's purpose

The crisis at Old Wang's home is imminent

Director Zeng served as the executive deputy of the provincial department and had a period of association with the old gentleman, but it cannot be said that he was directly promoted by the old gentleman, and naturally, he cannot be regarded as a trusted confidant either

From then on, everything became conventional and orderly

It is unclear whether it was intentional or unintentional, but Director Cheng overlooked both Yang Yun and Wang Jun, merely nodding in greeting without shaking hands or engaging in much small talk

He does not have the capability to manage an event as grand as the Yunfan Family.

Not long after, the Yunfan family fundraising case broke out, and Yang Yun fell from the heights of a prosperous businessman to a prisoner. The Old Wang family was severely implicated. It is difficult to say whether this was instigated by former Director Zeng, but the final outcome of the investigation was that the once prominent figure in Tian Nan's political and legal circles, "Old Tiger Wang," quietly exited the scene, distancing himself from the centers of power and becoming a true retired official, enjoying his later years
